The plane - cheaper than the train

An article in Cotidianul ( website developed by Kondiment Solutions, which makes me very proud :) ) points out that the train tickets are about to be 40% more expensive by 2007.

Making an easy comparison, this would mean that a train ticket from Bucharest to Oradea will cost around 40 EUR, while a plane ticket on the same route costs about 35 EUR (Tarom flights). Even more, the train takes about 10 hours to reach Oradea, while the trip lasts no longer than 40 minutes with the plane.

Looking forward to the day all the major cities in Romania will have an airport, so we can travel faster and in much better conditions. The only inconvenience is that most of the airports are quite far out of the city. But it pays off to take a cab, too.
